Accessories – Montréal
After achieving success with differents creative projects and a start up business in her hometown Montreal, Julie decided to embark on the trip of a life time as she became a mother. With her partner, she sold everything and moved to Thailand, India, Tibet and Bali with their 2 years old son.
It is in Bali where Julie, surrounded by local artists, launched her first fashion accessory collection in 2006 : an exotic blend of sophisticated and functional line of handbags and belts.
The diverse and unique experiences Julie acquired while traveling and living abroad for some 5 years, combined with her sense of global consciousness and her continual search for the well-being of body, mind and spirit, all played a role in broadening the essence of her work.
She now presents a line of jewellery that is inspired by the idea of the talisman and she is transferring her search for wisdom, harmony and aesthetic into the fashion adornments she creates.
Julie founded her latest workshop in 2011 in Montreal, Canada where she creates earthy and timeless adornments that connect to the values of well-being and conscious life style. Her jewellery refers to the essence of oneness and ancient wisdom knowledge that connects to the strength and inner beauty of the woman.
Julie blends her lifestyle principles of mindfulness and the use of ancient traditions -such as mantra (transferring intention into an object), medicine women knowledge, oriental medicine pratices, wheel of medicine from native wisdom, and sacred ceremony- to create unique and powerful fashion talismans.
She creates pieces of jewellery that are designed to trigger harmony and well-being. They are reminiscent of the oneness of all beings and elements and are meant to connect with the timeless spiritual sensibilities that are deep within each of us.
